Fitness class in Mainz: Hybrid Boost

Hybrid Boost is the regular Functional Fitness group training at CFT Mainz. In a 60-minute session you alternate between ergometers, running segments and functional exercises. The class is based on typical HYROX demands but remains an independent CFT format. The focus is on endurance, strength endurance, controlled movements under load and shared team energy. A maximum of twelve people take part per session.

The sessions take place on Mondays and Thursdays at 20:00 at the CFT studio at Karoline-Stern-Platz 7 in 55118 Mainz-Neustadt. Our studio is on the ground floor. Prior booking via the CFT website is required.

A session lasts 60 minutes.

The warm-up lasts about 15 minutes. You get moving, mobilize the areas you need and prepare yourself for the upcoming loads. Your coach explains the exercises, important technical points, station changes and suitable variations.

The workout lasts about 40 minutes. In the main part you often work at six to eight stations. A typical rhythm is 4:30 minutes of work and 30 seconds of transition. Ergometers, running segments and functional exercises follow one another directly; pace, weight and task change depending on the focus.

The cool-down lasts about 5 minutes. After the last station, the load is reduced in a controlled way. Light movement, mobilization or breathing exercises bring the session to a shared close.

Hybrid Boost is demanding. However, you need neither competition experience nor previous Functional Training to take part.

Before the circuit, your coach explains the movements, the structure and the most important technical points. Weight, repetitions, pace, work time, rest periods, range of motion, distances, ergometer resistance and exercise variations can be adjusted. Broad jumps can be shorter, for example, burpees are also possible without the jump, and for lunges or carries the weight and distance can be changed.

Beginners can build up movements step by step. Experienced participants work with heavier weights, more demanding variations or more pace depending on the task. Everyone remains part of the same session.

An adapted variation is not inferior training. It is meant to match your current level and allow controlled movements. Hybrid Boost remains group training: you receive instruction and suitable options, but no continuous individual support as in Personal Training.

Yes. Everyone trains in the same session, but not necessarily with the same load. Beginners use suitable weights, ranges of motion and variations. Experienced participants can work with heavier weights, more demanding variations or more pace depending on the task.

Depending on the session, runs, SkiErg, RowErg, BikeErg, Echo Bike, lunges, wall balls, carries, sled push, sled pull, burpees, broad jumps, cleans and slams as well as strength-endurance exercises with kettlebells, dumbbells or your own body weight may be included. Exercises and combinations change.

In many sessions you share a station with a buddy. You work on a task together and take turns based on time, repetitions, distance or calories.

You don't have to be equally fast, equally experienced or equally strong. Each person uses the weight and exercise variation that matches their own training level.

Buddy mode brings energy and sensible breaks into the session: while one person works, the other can catch their breath, motivate or prepare for the next segment. It's not about beating your buddy, but about completing the task together in a controlled way.

Depending on the focus, individual stations, rotating teams or shared group tasks are also possible.

Hybrid Boost is led by qualified coaches who combine sports science knowledge, experience in Functional Training and many years of their own training practice.

Before the workout, they explain the structure, the movement patterns, important technical points, possible variations, suitable weights or resistance levels and the transition between stations.

During the circuit, the coaches keep an eye on the group. They give brief technical cues, adapt exercises when needed and help you choose a pace that suits the task and your current level.

A detailed introduction to our coaches can be found here. Hybrid Boost remains group training and does not replace individual support in Personal Training.

No. Hybrid Boost is neither a technique seminar nor Personal Training. Before the circuit starts, your coach explains the exercises, the structure and the most important technical points. If needed, you receive a different exercise variation or a more suitable weight.

During the session, the coach gives brief cues and keeps an eye on the whole group. Detailed, continuously individual technique coaching and personal training planning, on the other hand, are part of Personal Training.
